Magi Craft Meister

14-28 House of Tekles

Jens was immediately passed inside.

It was a splendid hall that was guided. There were a large number of samurai/servants there, standing a magnificent man with a bright white head at the other end of the large table.

"Welcome. I am the Lord of this House, Ecarte Tekles."

There was no arrogance common in the rich, he was a merchant-like, low-lying figure. Totally white head, brown eyes. Your health is disappointing.

"I know Lord Vivian, but I've never seen anyone else before."

It's Jin.

"It's Elsa."

It's Saki.

Jens will also introduce themselves. When Reinhardt and Berche finished their names, Ekalt recommended a chair to everyone. Reiko and Edgar will stand behind them.

Together we get to a table made of heavy, black trees. An instant samurai brought a drink. It is a well cooled kahii.

"What do you think? We are proud of our chilled kahi."

A bit of a proud Ecult, but Jens, who knows the fridge exists, wasn't so impressed. It must have been delicious.

Ecarte looked a little sorry to see that happen.

"Hmm, wasn't it uncommon for the guests to have a chilled drink? No, that's great."

Ecult honestly admits to losing.

"Yeah, 'cause I know something called a refrigerator."

Ecarte ate on such Jen's words.

"'Refrigerator'? What is that?

"A refrigerator, as its name suggests, is a magic guide that cools and stores. Blueland of the Kingdom of Egerea is the birthplace."

"Holy crap!... um, did you fail to stretch your legs to Blueland even though you went all the way to Fantor Town!

Ecult that seems regrettable. But I'll get back on my feet.

"... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Glad to hear this. Do you know of any other rare tools or magic aids?

That's the big merchant around here, should I say?

"Right, are you coming by boat to the Kingdom of Egerea?

It was Reinhardt who opened his mouth next time.

"Yeah, sure. It's a lot easier than using the streets."

So far, there is no regulation of maritime traffic. Because the Kingdom of Cellular was originally a landlocked country.

The Korin region with Kup is originally seen below the Korin kingdom and one and two steps from the central part of the Serroa kingdom.

Conversely, there are some loose ends in terms of controls, and these maritime trade are developing.

"Do you know the Potlock of the Kingdom of Areas?

"Is it Potlock? No, I've heard the story, but I've still been there."

"That's a waste. There's a good shipbuilder named Marcia."

Earlier this year, it was Marcia who worked with Jen in the golem boat competition in Potlock.

Reinhardt participated with Elsa in the achievement that the Jen Marcia group was the winner and the Reinhardt Elsa group was second.

From that time on, Jen, Marcia, Reinhardt, and Elsa became friends.

That's why Reinhardt was subtly promoting Marcia just because he was a diplomat.

"Well, I see..."

This is how they would be grabbing business cuts. Ecult is in a good mood.

They were also Jens, who had spoken a lot from then on to an unusual extent.

"Oh, it's time for lunch. Let's order our meals."

When Ecarte slapped her hand, the samurai handily lined up the dishes. When that was over, a servant brought a large pot.

"Well, chilled drinks may not have been uncommon, but how about this?

It was brown soup that was poured into the soup dish. There is nothing in it.

But Jen remembered the scent.

"... miso soup?

"Do you know Lord Jin? I said Bin Pay, and it's an ingredient I got with a certain handbook. Lord Jin was called Miso. Well, that's easier said than done."

Surprised facial ecult. But Jen is nowhere near replying.

"Can I give you a taste?

"Yeah, go ahead. Give it a try, everyone."

Before the words were finished or not, Jen grabbed the soup dish and rinsed the liquid that seemed to be miso soup. Clearly, it's a violation of manners, but I couldn't afford to care less about Jen now.

……

"How about that?

Elsa and Reinhardt also spoon soup that looks like 'miso soup' into their mouths.

"... a little salty, huh?

"No, this is, not quite"

"Ugh, yeah, well, a rare flavor......"

"It's going to taste better when you put in the utensils."

Each of them will share their thoughts as if they had been half-finished. but.

"... unsavory"

Only Jen was different.

"Dj, Jin!?

Reinhardt surprises Jen for saying something unusual and clear.

"... the stock is not good. Too salty and spicy. Too simmering and the scent is flying"

I was just in love with miso soup and Jen's criticism was super dry.

"... If you don't mind, could you let me make it?

"No? Go ahead. Absolutely!"

Without offending Jen's words, no, Ekalt nodded in the face expecting him to make something of it rather. Order the servant to lead him to the kitchen.

"Master Jin, I can help you too!

Belché, the family's taster, rushed after him. Needless to say, Reiko and Neon are together.

"... this is' miso '..."

The miso shown to the chef in the kitchen was fairly fermented. Unlike soy sauce, miso is not heated, so fermentation progresses depending on the storage method.

"Yeah, but you're still okay with this"

Jen, who tried to lick it a little for her fingers, decided she could use it enough.

"First the stock..."

There is no bonito or kelp, so it means boiled and dried, but its not even boiled and dried here.

Jen glanced over at the kitchen wondering if there were any substitutes for him, keeping an eye on something.

"Dry…?"

One way to store fish, dry. Open freshly removed fish, remove guts and wash with brine. Let it dry on heaven's day. Very briefly, this is how dry foods are made.

Aside from the rationale that drying in the sun breaks down the protein into amino acids and increases the flavor…, it was the dried food that Jen paid attention to in order to take the fish based stock.

"And then there's the equipment..."

If the fish stock is taken, the plant system is preferred. I like sea grass like a walnut, but the habit of eating seaweed didn't seem to be in the land.

"Then..."

There is no tofu, and naturally there is no fried tofu.

"Hmm?"

Jen found vegetables very similar to eggplant.

"Okay, it's eggplant miso soup"

Jen peels purple skin quickly.

"Dear Jin, we can help you."

Belche is also going to help by saying we'll make it for everyone. Jen decided to take stock in the meantime.

The chopped eggplant is soaked in water for a few minutes and drained of the ac.

In the meantime, add the whole dried food to boiling water in a pan, and after boiling it for a while, remove the dried food, add the eggplant chopped by Berche, and simmer.

I don't mind the color turning slightly black.After about two minutes of boiling, add miso and stop the fire just before it boils.

"If you add miso and let it boil, the fragrance will fly."

Jen explains to Berche and the chef who was watching beside him.

"Come on, try it"

Neon carried the pot and a samurai poured it around on a new soup plate.

I'll have it, and Elsa sees the flavor first,

"... delicious...!

Reinhardt, Saki, Stearena and Vivian also take a sip and marvel at the difference in taste.

And it would have been the Ecult that surprised me more than anyone.

"Oh, my God...! I didn't know it would taste this good!

"Using stock, not letting it boil. It's not the same."

Jen the Cat Tongue and Berche were slowly tasting miso soup. Jen is reasonably satisfied with the flavour this time.

"You can make this a specialty dish in the region!

This was also a strong (did) eccentric around linking to commerce.
